Wolves Interested In Signing Arsenal Star Ainsley Maitland-Niles

Wolves have become the latest Premier League team to register their interest in Arsenal’s Ainsley Maitland-Niles.

The Daily Mail reported on Thursday that Arsenal will listen to offers in the region of £20m for the versatile central midfielder who has starred as a left-sided defender under Mikel Arteta.

Newcastle manager Steve Bruce is also monitoring developments at the Emirates over the 22-year-old who has represented England from U17 through to U21 level. He was also part of the England squad that won the U20 World Cup in 2017.

Privately, Tottenham have denied they are keen on the player – and are not preparing a £20m bid.

Maitland-Niles has been at Arsenal since he was 16.

He made 32 appearances for Arsenal last season and played the full match as the Gunners beat Chelsea in the FA Cup final at Wembley on August 1.

Elsewhere, Arsenal remain clear favourites to win the race for the 22-year-old Brazilian Gabriel ahead of Napoli, despite the Italian club making a late and improved offer to the player.
